Shao Wenbo listened quietly as Wang Jingyuan poured her heart out to him. He didn't know that he meant this much to her. She wasn't like the other girls who immediately went on their best behavior and used their sweetest voice if he passed by. Wang Jingyuan always acted normally around him—at least, that's what he perceived—and that put him at ease.
He liked how her eyes crinkled into crescent moons when she laughed, how she tilted her head to one side when she pondered a question, and how she pouted and glared at him if he teased her. Shao Wenbo was used to people praising him, but he never tired of how Wang Jingyuan would look at him in awe and gasp if he solved out a particularly hard problem. She was also the only person to call him "Wenbo-ge"; other girls have tried and he coldly told them to address him as "Wenbo" or "Xue Zhang". They didn't say it the same way that Wang Jingyuan did. She had an innocent, youthful aura to her, and for some reason, he was attracted to that.
